Ottumwa trip

We had Sydney for a visit and decided to go camping closer to where Cam lives so he could camp with us. Well it did not turn out so well.
Rain and heat are not fun when camping.
Thank goodness Bec took a couple of days off. The kids like her house better than the camper.She had wifi.
Ziva loves camping.No matter if it rains or not.A view from the RV.The canada geese were there in the mornings early.

We got to see Grandson Mason. He had an accident the night we got there. We did not know until the next day.He had to have surgery to repair a cut tendon on his pointer finger. Cut it on a storm window. 8 Weeks in a cast. Not good. It was good to see him.It had been way to long. When grands grow up they get lives of there own and it is hard to get together. Hard when we don't get to see them.

Ziva just hanging out.She is big enough now to get on the RV sofa by herself.

Max and Ziva meeting Oh man he is big.Both tails wagging .Good to see.Hope you all have a great 4th.

Besides gardening, my craft is making and oil painting cloth dolls, with Helen Pringle and Emma Adams as my inspiration.
I enjoy re purposing things and collect lots of things.I do needle work. I also love to listen to books on tape while I work.
This year I am downsizing.
There is an old saying "you collect for the first 1/2 of your life and try to get rid of the second 1/2.It is true. The downsizing is taking longer than I thought but I keep at it.I still love all my vintage and antique stuff. I will share it from time to time.
I have discovered I really like making doll quilts so stay tuned for a bit about my quilting.

Living in America

Living in America is not a right just because you can walk across the border. Being an American is a responsibility and it comes by respecting and upholding the Constitution the law of our land which says what you must do to be a citizen of this country. Freedom is not free!

Thomas Jefferson

"A wise and frugal government,which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of the labor the bread it has earned-this is the sum of good government."Thomas Jefferson
